i) The limit for varying quantities for minor value items shall be 100% (as against
25% prescribed for other items). A minor value item for this purpose is
defined as an item whose original agreement value is less than 1% of the total
original agreement value.

ii) No such quantity variation limit shall apply for foundation items

individual item rate).

the course of his/their duties as Railway Servant(s) expressed views on all or

any of the matters under dispute or differences. The proceedings of the
Arbitral Tribunal or the award made by such Tribunal will, however, not be
invalid merely for the reason that one or more arbitrator had, in the course of
his service, opportunity to deal with the matters to which the contract relates

matters under dispute.

DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR CARRYING OUT

SIGNALLING WORKS

0.1 The detailed specification for the works which are to be carried out by the
contractor are as stipulated hereunder:-

0.2 The work shall be carried out according to the drawings approved by the
Railways and shall conform to the provision in Signal Engineering Manual and
Schedule of Dimensions. The contractor shall be solely responsible for the
proper execution of the work as per specification.

1.0 CABLE LAYING:-

1.1.1 CABLE TRENCH:-

Excavation of cable trench shall be made in all kinds of soils including

clearing roots of trees, rocks bushes etc., to a depth of 1.0M/1.65M and a
width of 0.3M/ 0.5M as required, for laying cables. Trenches shall be
straight as far as possible and steep angles shall be avoided. Alignment of the
main cable route as well as track/ road crossing will be given by Railways.
While taking the trench, all the roots of trees, bushes, rocks, if any, should be
cleared. The bottom of the trench shall be leveled and got rid of any sharp
materials. Proper protection to cables to be given while crossing power
cables, pipe lines, etc., as required by Railways.

a. Signalling/power cables will be laid as close to the track as possible. The

cable, track separation distance both within station limits and in the block
section shall generally not exceed 6 Meters.

b. It is desirable that the excavation of trenches is not done in long lengths

and does not remain uncovered overnight. It is preferable that trenches are
dug, cables laid and refilling done on the same day.

c. The contractor who supervises the excavation work shall have the shoring
materials ready on hand so that on banks where ashes or loose materials are
encountered, shoring can be adopted.

d. During excavation, the earth of the trenches should not be thrown on the
ballast. The earth should be thrown by the side of the trenches away from the
track. Plastic sheets/gunny bangs may be used wherever necessary to cover
the ballast.

1.1.2 In RE area the following clear distances shall be maintained between the
signalling cables and the OHE mast or other structures likely to develop high
potentials or switching stations earth.

a) Minimum distance between the signalling cables and OHE masts or other
structures likely to develop high potential or switching stations earth.

1.2.1 LAYING OF CABLES:-

Before the cables are laid, a visual inspection of cable shall be made and it
shall be tested for insulation and continuity of the cores. The insulation
resistance of a new cable shall not be below 500 M.Ohms per Km. at 20 deg
C. The cable insulation should be measured using a 500V insulation Tester
(Megger). If there is wide disparity between insulation of different conductors,
the condition of the cable should be thoroughly checked before permitting its
use. Bedding and armouring shall be inspected to see that there has been no
damage during transit or in storage. In case where the wheels are not
available or the area is not convenient for rolling the wheels, along the routes,
the drum shall be mounted on the axle at one end of the trench and cable
payed out. It should be carried out by adequate number of men, ensuring that
the insulation of the cables is not damaged and no kink/twist is formed. In no
case shall the drum be rolled on the road for laying of cables and the cable
dragged on the ground for laying purposes. The cables shall be laid gently
into the trench and not thrown out under any circumstances. Before laying of
cable in the trench, a visual inspection shall be adequate for any damage or
defect throughout its length. Normally cable laying should be commenced only
after the relay room and apparatus cases, cable termination box on the route
at the respective stations are ready and the cable should be duly brought
inside at the relay room/apparatus cases immediately after the cables are laid,
however, if for any reasons the cable is be laid in advance, special care
should be taken to ensure that the coiled cable near the relay
room/apparatus cases is fully protected before and during the construction
of the relay room/apparatus cases and during final termination. The coiled
cable shall be buried well in the ground such that the depth from the
ground level to the top layer of the coil shall not be less than 1 M and shall
be fully covered with a layer of bricks horizontally in its entire length and
 84

provided with adequate number of the cable markers. On no occasion, the

ends of the cable should be left unsealed unless terminated properly.

1.2.2 Cable laying shall commence after the depth and width of the cable trench,
quality of bricks are jointly inspected by Railway Engineer's representative
and contractor's representative and approved.

ii) Signalling cables.
iii) Power cables.

1.2.4 Cable shall not be normally taken over the running track at the time of cable
laying by the contractor as this is likely to cause accident to trains and
damage to cables. If at any time the cable has to be taken across the track
either in full drums or in spread out conditions it shall be done only in the
presence of Railway's Supervisory staff and also after safety precautions
have been taken to post flagmen on all the sides as may be required to
stop any trains approaching the site of the fouled line.

1.2.5 At each end of the main cable/tail cable/power cable an extra coil length of 6
to 8 Metres should be kept.

1.2.6 At the time of commissioning of the cable, the insulation values of the cable
should again be checked and the value obtained shall not be below 500
Meg.Ohms per Km at 20 deg.C. If there is wide disparity between insulation of
different conductors, the condition of the cable should be thoroughly checked
before permitting its use. The reading shall be recorded in a register based
on Annexure `C' for all power cables, main and tail cables.

38. DESIGNING OF SIGNALLING PLAN, TABLE OF CONTROL AND CIRCUIT

DIAGRAM:

Designing of signalling plan, table of control and circuit diagram shall be as

per the schedules in Vol- I/II

39. PROCEDURE FOR INITIAL CHARGING OF SECONDARY CELLS:

a. All the cells in the battery set shall be of the same type and capacity.

b. Electrolyte shall be prepared by mixing battery grade Sulphuric Acid and

distilled water in the ratio 1:5 in a glass/Porcelain container by adding
Acid to water and not vice-versa.

c. The new cells shall be cleaned with distilled water and filled with this
electrolyte upto 12-15mm above the plates.

d. Allow the plates of cells to soak in the electrolyte for 12 hours.

e. Charge shall be applied at the rate of 4% of AH value of the cells to the

correct terminals of the battery set duly interconnected.

f. Specific Gravity and voltage of each cell shall be measured and recorded
once in 8 hours.

g. Charging shall be stopped when specific gravity becomes 1210 +/ -5

h. If the specific gravity does not attain this value, little quantity of electrolyte
shall be taken out and with electrolyte of higher value (1400 – obtained by
adding acid and added water in the ratio 7:11) and charging shall be
started afresh.

i. On charge, the cells shall be discharged with lamp load upto the limit when
the specific gravity becomes 1190 and voltage 1.85 volts.

j. Charge and discharge cycle shall be repeated once again.

k. Final charge shall be given before wiring the cells to use.
